• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

but I use something like this:

A harbor freight style motorcycle lift will get it up about 15 inches, enough to get underneath to work on. I would still put some jack stands under the front suspension and block up under the rear wheel if you are going to have it elevated for some time.
 
I use a bike lift to raise a spyder. It follows the ideas suggested in this video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfZzDOuv2PQ

This is a graphic of my setup..

I have to block up the spyder near the front of the frame to be able to lift it. The parts shown are made of commercial lumber save for the cross pipe, it's commercial water pipe, that is used to locate the wheel stands. Feel free to ask any questions.

I have another deign where I use the ATV side extensions spaced out on some 1.5" pipes to give me a 61 inch width. It would look something like this but doesn't show the center ramp.

I didn't go that route because the side extensions kept me away from the rear section of the Spyder. The lift is branded "Direct Lift".
